Ah, yes — because as we all should know very well by now, investigating the Benghazi attack and its aftermath has only ever been about crazed hyper-partisan Republicans wielding preposterous conspiracy theories in a wildly politicized attempt to reopen an obviously open-and-shut case, and not at all about the White House trying to cover the tracks of its own incompetence whilst preserving the narrative that al Qaeda had been decimated and was on the run. We should be talking about more important things, like Democrats’ old-and-busted, top-down ideas for killing jobs and further encumbering the economy!

I haven’t seen that, but what I will say is, again: Diversion, subterfuge. Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. Why aren’t we talking about something else? Whatever was in that, what I know of what I’ve read in the press about those emails, was very consistent with what was put out there before. I don’t think there’s anything new there.

Just for the sake of contrast, here’s what the Speaker of the House had to say on the subject last night:

“Four Americans lost their lives in Benghazi, and this White House has gone to extraordinary lengths to mislead, obstruct, and obscure what actually took place. I am appalled to learn that the administration concealed relevant documents after the House subpoenaed all emails related to the misleading talking points. When four Americans die at the hands of terrorists, the families of the victims – and the American people – deserve the full, unvarnished truth and nothing less. Instead, this White House has been callously dismissive of our efforts to get answers. The House has a constitutional obligation to carry out oversight of the administration, and the president has an obligation to cooperate. This evasiveness must end. Our investigation into the events of that September night is going to continue until this White House owns up to the truth – and until these terrorists are brought to justice.”

This is the kind of sea change that goes beyond polling numbers. The very mass culture that celebrated Barack Obama, that turned him into an international icon, is now migrating toward the darker side of his legacy, perhaps fueled by a sense of frustration and disappointment.

Pelosi- “Brawk, the debate on Benghazi is over. Brawk, the debate on Obamacare is over. Brawk, the debate on Climate Change is over. Brawk, the debate over whether government stimulus creates wealth jobs and prosperity is over. Brawk Brawk Debate is over Brawk Debate is over.”

If ever there was a call to action for conservatives, this administration is it.

The outright elitism and arrogance of these people is disgusting, and undermines our way of life. We need to take back our government from these cretins, and get back in front of making policy rather than trying to live under it.

She’s an evil little liar. She also looks like a stick of beef jerky. A lying slim jim with a dab of lipstick in a Chanel pantsuit. This is the kind of freakish, grasping, immoral clown that we choose to represent us.

Dingy Harry and democrats in Congress talk about such pressing issues as the Koch brothers and the Redskins name and Pelosi has the audacity to question those who want to know why 4 Americans died and the administration lied? Do these people have even an ounce if integrity?

Feel free to discuss any of obama’s successes. Feel free to discuss any and all liberal or democrat success stories; like obamacare, or the economy, or any foreign policy, particularly the state of the Ukraine, or…

… …. …

Now that that’s over, let’s get back to this administration murdering an American ambassador and Embassy staff, and then lying about it, and attempting to cover it up.

May God please now open the eyes of the truly idiotic people in this Country, who have listened to and believed in, all the lies this administration has perpetrated; and may they then have the courage to act on it.

Because we can’t possibly take a chance and read something written by someone with whom we don’t generally agree. Might challenge our preconceived notions or something.

I guess reading the same stupid liberal lies from yet another stupid liberal blog might enlighten me. But then again, I’m not a stupid moral relativist and don’t need to waste my time reading stupid liberal lies.

This is the kind of sea change that goes beyond polling numbers. The very mass culture that celebrated Barack Obama, that turned him into an international icon, is now migrating toward the darker side of his legacy, perhaps fueled by a sense of frustration and disappointment.

We tried to warn the lemming sheeple about the precipice but they didn’t believe us until they went into free fall and smushed into the ground like a smushed post turtle.

If the Speaker of the House were truly appalled as he should have been over a year ago, a special prosecutor would already have been appointed… It is not too late, Mr. Speaker!! That’s what the American people are demanding.
